Huge music trip- fundraising?

I have a really big music trip... for band... I play flute and piccolo and alot saxohpne and guitar and I sing..... I am in a lot of groups... for regular band there is a huge trip... to honor everone who's stayed in band for 3 years (I'm in 8th grade), since 6th grade... I need to raise money to pay for this trip... my mom will pay what I can't raise, but I want to raise a lot, b/c my mom is not 'made of money' like most of my friends' parents are... I feel bad for taking her money... so please help I need simple fundraisers, that I could do right now. I was thinking I could go door-to-door and say something like "I am trying 2 raise money for a trip w/ the ___ (name of skool) band, and for $2 I will play a song on my flute for you, renaissance or classical or Latin. Your $2 would be very benificial towards my payment for this trip." and I'd thank them very politely afterwards whether they said yes or not... I know my friends' parents always want me to play for 'em, I am good. HELP I am in the state honor band on flute, I am good... I noticed adults seem to enjoy my playing... is my idea good? or not? IF YOU HAVE OTHER IDEAS PLEASE DO SHARE! I can't do chores (that would mean taking my mom's money) and I don't have anything to sell. I can make jewelry as well as whoever makes the jewelry at Nortrom... I can imitate their jewelry exactly. HELP PLZ

1. i dont want to foundraise.
2. hmmmm.. well yea that is a good idea to go to door to door..or you can ask your teacheror something if you are having financial trouble or something like that.
3. I think that you are very mature and responsible young lady. I think what you say is a good idea. I am sure that you could raise some funds that way. I wish you a lot of luck.
4. I would think you would need a license to go fund raising door to door, why not ask at a store if you could stay out side in the front and play music people will drop money in a case or what ever you have. take a Friend with you and you could even make a sign up saying what for.
5. wow,u r really gonna feel bad for using your moms money? isnt that what kids are FOR???;) anywaay...your idea is a good one so i dont see y you need to ask you should also consider odd jobs, or goto a mall,play yourflute and have like a hat in front of you for people to throw money into:)
6. I do not think you should go door to door, that's not always safe. You can make extra money by recycling. Put the word out to everyone you know, that you would like to collect all of their aluminum cans and plastic bottles for recycling.
7. you should do the door to door thing, id give you 10 $ becuase i play the clarinet and saxophone and i know how hard it is to get money *hands girl $10*
8. Buy the large boxes of candy bars and try to sell them. Babysit, ask your neighbors if there are jobs they need help with. People are very helpful in these situations.
